Interim order in jurisdictional dispute denied as the disputed work was already nearing completion.

The complainant union applied for an interim order under section 91(8) of the Labour Relations Act regarding a jurisdictional dispute over the dismantling, transport, and reassembly of shelving.

The complainant alleged that the respondent union threatened an unlawful strike if the work was not reassigned to its members, resulting in the layoff of labourers.

The Board declined to make an interim order because the disputed work was scheduled to be completed by the end of the business day, rendering any order academic.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 837 v. Maxibo Incorporated, 1988 CanLII 3785

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 5, 1988

Interim order in jurisdictional dispute denied where complainant relied on its own strike threat.

The complainant union sought an interim order under section 91(8) of the Labour Relations Act to redistribute work in a jurisdictional dispute.

The Board noted that the only strike or strike threat alleged was by the complainant itself and its own members.

The Board declined to make an interim order, holding that a complainant should not be able to profit from its own unlawful conduct or threat thereof.

The decision was made without prejudice to the merits of the jurisdictional dispute claim.

International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron-workers, Local 721 v. Newmarch Mechanical Limited, 1988 CanLII 3788

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 3, 1988

Related employer declaration granted where non-union spin-off operated under common control to avoid collective agreement.

The applicant union sought a declaration under section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act that Krest Masonry Contracting Limited and Canada Contracting were one employer, or alternatively that there was a sale of a business under section 63.

Krest, a unionized masonry contractor, was bound by a collective agreement.

Canada Contracting was incorporated by family members of Krest's directors and operated as a non-union broker on the same construction sites, utilizing Krest's materials and services.

The Board found that the two companies were engaged in related business activities under common control and direction, serving as a vehicle for Krest to avoid its collective agreement obligations.

The Board granted the section 1(4) declaration, making it effective as of the application date.

Bricklayers, Masons Independent Union of Canada, Local 1 v. Masonry Contractors' Association of Toronto Inc., 1988 CanLII 3781

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 2, 1988

Application to terminate bargaining rights found timely and voluntary; representation vote ordered.

The applicant employee filed an application to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights on the same day a conciliation officer was appointed.

The union argued the application was untimely and that the applicant lacked status as an employee because he had not paid union dues.

The Board held the application was timely because it was not made 'after' the date the conciliation officer was appointed.

The Board also found the applicant remained an employee in the bargaining unit because, although he failed to pay dues, the union had not required his discharge under the collective agreement.

Finally, the Board concluded the petition opposing the union was voluntary and directed a representation vote.

Evaristo Romero v. United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 27, 1988 CanLII 3651

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 14, 1988

Grievance for travel allowance dismissed as collective agreement did not apply to permanent fabrication shop.

The union filed a grievance claiming that its members were entitled to a travel allowance under the provincial collective agreement when dispatched to the employer's fabrication shop, which was located outside the travel-free zone.

The employer argued that the collective agreement did not apply to its shop operations, which it characterized as manufacturing rather than construction.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the grievance, finding that the collective agreement distinguished between job sites and shops, and that the travel allowance provision was not intended to apply to tradesmen dispatched to a permanent shop.

The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada, Local Union 67 v. Calorific Construction Limited, 1988 CanLII 3648

Board directs filing of reinstatement order with Supreme Court after employer fails to comply.

The complainant union requested that the Board file its previous determination with the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Ontario, alleging that the respondent employer failed to comply with an order to reinstate and compensate a discharged union organizer.

The respondent did not reply to the allegations of non-compliance.

The Board directed that the determination be filed for enforcement, except for the unquantified compensation portion, over which the Board remained seized.

The Board also amended the respondent's name in the style of cause.

Textile Processors, Service Trades, Health Care, Professional and Technical Employees International Union, Local 351 v. M & K Plastic Products Limited, 1988 CanLII 3671

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 19, 1988

Unfair labour practice complaint dismissed; layoff decision was made for business reasons after bargaining concluded.

The complainant union alleged that the employer committed unfair labour practices, breached the statutory freeze, and failed to bargain in good faith when it laid off all registered nurses at its London retirement lodge shortly after concluding first collective agreements.

The employer maintained the layoffs were part of a broader, division-wide reorganization prompted by financial concerns and a shift to a 'wellness concept' for residents.

The Board found no anti-union animus or unlawful lockout, accepting that the decision was driven by legitimate business reasons.

The Board also concluded that the reorganization decision was finalized after the collective agreements had been ratified, meaning the statutory freeze and the duty to bargain in good faith had already expired.

The complaint was dismissed.

Ontario Nurses' Association v. Central Park Lodges, A Division of Trizec Equities Limited, 1988 CanLII 3695

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 28, 1988

Union certified without a representation vote after demonstrating membership support exceeding 55%.

The applicant union applied for certification and filed documentary evidence of membership on behalf of more than 55% of the employees in the bargaining unit.

The respondent employer and objecting employees requested that the Board exercise its discretion under section 7(2) of the Labour Relations Act to order a representation vote, citing a close margin of support, employee turnover, past unsuccessful collective bargaining, and potential peer pressure.

The Board declined to order a vote, finding that the union had established the requisite clear majority and that none of the raised concerns warranted departing from the statutory scheme of automatic certification.

A certificate was issued to the applicant.

National Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers Union of Canada (CAW-Canada) v. P. J. Wallbank Manufacturing Co. Limited, 1988 CanLII 3689

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 2, 1988

Board finds single-branch units appropriate for bank employees and separates full-time and part-time workers.

The union applied for certification for employees at several branches of the respondent financial institution.

The union sought a multi-branch bargaining unit combining full-time and part-time employees, while the employer argued for single-branch units and the separation of full-time and part-time employees.

The Board determined that single-branch units were appropriate and maintained its practice of separating full-time and part-time employees.

Certificates were issued for units where the union had over 55% support, representation votes were ordered where support was between 45% and 55%, and the application was dismissed for units with less than 45% support.

Board directed written submissions on whether membership cards signed after permanent layoff should be counted.

The applicant union applied for certification.

The parties agreed on the list of employees and their last day of work, but disputed whether membership cards signed by two permanently laid-off individuals after their last day worked should be counted.

As there were no facts in dispute, the Board directed the parties to file written submissions on the issue rather than convening a hearing.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 1089 v. Catalytic Maintenance Inc., 1987 CanLII 3164

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 14, 1987

Request to reopen settled complaints regarding union financial statements dismissed.

The complainant sought to reopen two complaints regarding union financial statements that had been previously settled and withdrawn.

The complainant argued that the financial statements provided under the settlement were prepared by a Certified General Accountant rather than a Chartered Accountant.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the request, finding that the complainant was aware of the accountant's qualifications when signing the settlement and that the Act does not require a Chartered Accountant unless directed by the Board.

The Board emphasized the importance of finality in settlements.

Tony Hoosain v. District Council United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners of America, 1987 CanLII 3163

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 11, 1987

Board orders representation vote for decertification, finding employee petition valid despite technical defects.

The applicant, an employee in the meat department bargaining unit, applied to terminate the bargaining rights of the respondent union locals representing three bargaining units at a retail food store.

The union argued the supporting employee petitions were invalid for failing to distinguish between the specific locals, and that the applicant lacked standing to apply on behalf of units he was not a member of.

The Board rejected both arguments, finding the employees clearly intended to reject the union generally and had designated the applicant to act on their behalf.

A representation vote was ordered for all three bargaining units.

Cecil DeHaan v. United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Local 633 and 175, 1987 CanLII 3144

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 18, 1987

Taxicab owner-operators found to be dependent contractors; separate bargaining units ordered for operators and drivers.

The union applied for certification to represent taxicab drivers and owner-operators working under the Hamilton Yellow Cab banner.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that the single car/plate owner-operators were dependent contractors, not independent contractors, due to their economic dependence on and control by Yellow Cab.

The Board ordered two separate bargaining units: one for dependent contractors and one for drivers.

Additionally, the Board declared Yellow Cab and Transportation Unlimited to be a single employer under section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act, but dismissed the related employer application regarding the other named respondents.

Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union AFL-CIO-CLC v. Hamilton Yellow Cab Company Limited, 1987 CanLII 3130

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 17, 1987

Board awards $11,007.47 to unlawfully discharged union organizer, clarifying the duty to mitigate in statutory contexts.

The Board convened a hearing to resolve implementation issues arising from its prior decision, which found the employer had unlawfully discharged a key union organizer.

The employer had refused to distribute the Board's decision to all employees, prompting the Board to clarify that individual delivery at the employer's expense was required.

On the issue of compensation, the employer argued the grievor failed to mitigate her damages.

The Board held that the duty to mitigate in unfair labour practice cases differs from wrongful dismissal, as the employee expects reinstatement and may continue union activities.

Finding the grievor made reasonable efforts to mitigate, the Board awarded $11,007.47 in lost wages and benefits.

Claims for general damages for mental distress and costs were denied.

United Food and Commercial Workers International Union v. Jacmorr Manufacturing Limited, 1987 CanLII 3071

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 31, 1987

Duty of fair representation complaint dismissed; union reasonably relied on legal advice to settle grievance.

The complainant alleged that her union breached its duty of fair representation under section 68 of the Labour Relations Act by settling her grievance regarding a lateral transfer without her consent and by refusing to proceed to arbitration.

The union had relied on the advice of its legal counsel, who assessed that an arbitrator was unlikely to grant the relief sought by the complainant.

The Board found that the union did not act in a manner that was arbitrary, discriminatory, or in bad faith, as its decision to settle was based on reasonable legal advice and an objective assessment of the grievance's merits.

The complaint was dismissed.

Jean Liebman v. York University Staff Association and York University, 1987 CanLII 3055

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 22, 1987

Board issued arrest warrants for respondent principals who failed to attend hearing after being duly summoned.

The applicant unions referred grievances to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act.

The principals of the respondent companies were duly served with summonses to witness but failed to attend the scheduled hearing.

The unions requested the Board to issue a Sheriff's warrant for their arrest to compel attendance.

The Board reviewed its authority to enforce the attendance of witnesses in the same manner as a court of record in civil cases.

Finding that the witnesses were properly served, their evidence was material, and they failed to attend, the Board issued warrants for their arrest to ensure their presence at the continuation of the hearing.

International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades, Local 1795 v. Walpat Glass & Aluminum Products Ltd., 1987 CanLII 3062

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 30, 1987

Related employer declaration denied to avoid conflict with established bargaining rights of another union.

The applicant unions sought a related employer declaration under section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act to bind Delform Construction Limited and Ilena Construction Limited to the provincial ICI agreement binding Hardrock Forming Company.

The Board found that Delform had an established collective bargaining relationship with Labourers' Local 183.

The Board dismissed the application, reasoning that issuing a related employer declaration would create a conflict with Local 183's established bargaining rights and precipitate a jurisdictional dispute.

Carpenters' District Council of Toronto and Vicinity v. 270915 Ontario Limited, 1987 CanLII 3053

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 25, 1987

Request to reconsider and stay a previous Board decision regarding affiliated bargaining agent status dismissed.

The applicant union sought reconsideration and a stay of a previous Board decision that found it was an affiliated bargaining agent not entitled to represent construction labourers in the ICI sector.

The applicant argued the decision disrupted historic bargaining patterns and requested a stay pending a potential ministerial amendment to the designation orders.

The Board dismissed the request, finding no exceptional circumstances to justify a stay and noting that the power of reconsideration does not require the original panel, but the applicant failed to establish a strong prima facie case that the original decision was wrong.

Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union, Local 2693 v. E K T Industries Inc., 1987 CanLII 3265

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 9, 1987

Employer's unfair labour practice complaint and prosecution application dismissed as frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process.

The employer filed an unfair labour practice complaint and an application for consent to prosecute the union and its counsel, alleging they misled an arbitrator to obtain an adjournment.

The employer sought to consolidate these matters with earlier complaints filed by the union.

The Board refused consolidation, noting the matters were discrete and consolidation would conflict with the union counsel's role.

The Board then dismissed the employer's complaint and application without a full hearing, finding them to be frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process designed to harass the union and gain a tactical advantage in other pending matters.

Fitzhenry and Whiteside Limited v. Toronto Typographical Union, Local 91, 1987 CanLII 3244

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 9, 1987

Incumbent union lacks status to intervene in rival union's application for access to employer property.

The applicant union sought a direction under section 11 of the Labour Relations Act allowing access to the employer's property to organize employees.

The employer and the incumbent union opposed the order.

The Board adjourned the hearing to be heard alongside a similar application by another rival union.

The Board also denied the incumbent union's request to intervene, finding that an access order would not detrimentally affect its legal rights.
